Parkrunners brave wet conditions

The route was wet but the participants were never going to be intimidated by some early morning showers; instead they took advantage of the perfect temperature for running.

The Ruimsig parkrunners came out and braved the rainy weather on Saturday, 7 December to participate in their weekly parkrun at the Ruimsig Athletics Stadium.

The organisers did a quick check on the condition of the running route prior to the Saturday event, with the water crossings being the main focus of the safety check.

Volunteer, Adéle Enslin said, “A big thanks again to all our volunteers this weekend, and to the runners who braved the weather – you’re all real diehards”.
